THE OPIUM HABIT.
The Most Affect of slaveries---Is There
Any Emancipator,

The New York papers lately published
a very pathetic story about very popular
emotional actress. Ii was to the effect
that she had become a confirmed victim of
the opium habit, involving an almost total
loss of physical and mental powers, and
actual restitution.
The story was at once denied by her
friends, who say she has suffered simply
from nervous prostratlon, Is in no need OF
pecuniary aid and is on the way to speedy
recovery.
Opium victims are usually hopeless,
helpless slaves, mind weakened, lacking
energy for any effort toward recovery, rap
idly drifting into imbecility and untimely
graves.
A peculiar feature Is that victims crafti-
ly conceal ii from their neare t friends.

too much like an al ertisement
This voluntary 5, tement goes to con-
firm the claim made by the proprietors OF
Warmers safe cure, that it is the only
remedy In the world which has any decid
ed power over disea Of The kidneys and

be cured until these organs have first been

CURED by long use in a painful malady,
with Warmers safe cure. 1t cannot be
cured at all if the kidneys and liver are

1t is not claimed that there is anything
in Warmers safe cure alone which will do
away with the habit, except that 1t puts
the kidneys and liver in healthy condi-
ton, giving the whole system that strength
and tone without which any attempt to
throw of the habit. would he vain.
1t is because physicians have discovered
that no other remedy is so beneficial In re-
storing health to the liver, kidneys and
general system as the one stated that it
has come into general use in connection
with the special remedies for the cure of
| the dreadful opium habit.
One of the worst features Of the opium
habit is the deadening of mental and NOR
al sensibilities in proportion as 1t weakens
the physical system and the will power.
